From the first moment that I saw this unique Damascus carbon steel knife, I was reminded of the beautiful, aggressive & irregular patterns that can be seen in the Hamon of Japanese swords. This beautiful Fujiwara Kanefusa Hamon DamascusSeries knife is made with alternating layers of White steel No.2 and soft iron, so it is possible for the entire blade to discolor or rust if it is not properly cared for. However, this knife will allow you to enjoy great edge sharpness, great edge retention and it is easy to re-sharpen.

The knife comes with the popular “D-Shaped” traditional-style handle, which is made from magnolia wood and a water buffalo horn ferrule.

For those people who would like to experience the fine cutting performance of an authentic Japanese traditional-style knife at an affordable price, we highly recommend these Fujiwara Kanefusa knife.

Please note that because the hammer forging process is done by hand, the area of spine near the handle remains thicker than normal knives. However, to ensure fine cutting performance, the blades are hand tapered from the spine down toward the cutting edge and from the blade heel towards the tip.

The Nakiri is a double bevel edged knife that is rectangular in profile and has a tall, thin blade. It is popular throughout Japan and is often used by home cooks for quickly and efficiently chopping, slicing or mincing vegetables and fruit. It is becoming increasingly popular with vegetarians.

We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy the fine craftsmanship and its sharp edge of your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for a long time.

Important

This is the Carbon steel blade kitchen knife that can get rust and discolor easily, and requires extra care and attention to prevent rust.

Please do not put the knife in the dishwasher machine for cleaning.

Please do not leave the knife in water or wet condition for a long time.

After using, please hand wash the blade, bolster and handle thoroughly, and wipe it clean and dry with soft clothes. Please apply Tsubaki oil on the blade and keep it in a dry place.

This is an extremely sharp knife. Please use special cares in using and storing it.

Unlike German made knives, Japanese knife blades are ground to thin cutting edge for sharper cutting and easier re-sharpening. Please protect the edge from hitting hard materials to avoid chipping or cracking.

We recommend using Japanese whetstones to re-sharpen the knife, when it gets dull.
